Rock Revival Mikael Slim Straight Jean 2 2
Rock Revival Mikael Slim Straight Jean Great pair of jeans they look much better in person. I like the way that they fitted me. I would recommend this item to anyone! January 10, 2014
Excellent Jeans! I love this pair of Rock Revival's. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because the pocket flap on the back is a faux pocket. It is not a button pocket, but it is made to look like one. I didn't notice this while in the store. July 21, 2013

Beer lists
The tabs under this heading will show you lists of our available draught and bottled beer. The selections undergo constant evolution for several reasons:
- A certain beer may become temporarily unavailable because of situations with an importer, local distributor, or the brewer themselves;
- As we find new beer we like, less popular ones may be cycled out to make room on the tap wall;
- Addition of seasonal beer (e.g., Maibocks, Oktoberfests, Christmas ales) may require temporary retirement of other ones.
We make a special effort to keep this section updated, since it is arguably the most important page on the whole web site. There are times, however, when a new beer may arrive with short notice, or a planned one arrives later than expected, so the best way to know what beers we have is to visit the pub and see for yourself. With those caveats in mind, here is a snapshot of our current draught selection. They are arranged by country of origin and color (either dark, amber, or pale.

Going Home – Acrylic/Ink in a Watercolour Moleskine
This is, Dalmahoy Road, the main road into our village. It joins the busy A71 route into the west side of Edinburgh and is just over one mile in length. Most of the four access points are about one mile from Ratho so this guarantees a seasonably quiet village existence. This doesn't mean Dalmahoy Road is quiet itself. It is often quite busy and, because it is quite twisty in parts, can appear a bit nerve-racking to visitors. This scene was inspired by the last few minutes of a video I shot from the car (I wasn't driving). See what you think – and remember we drive on the left in Scotland.

Centuries from Paul Horton and Mark Chilton helped Lancashire into a commanding position at the close of the opening day of their three-day friendly against Durham UCCE at the Racecourse Ground today.
Horton and Chilton, a graduate at Durham University himself, shared a third wicket partnership of 166 to push a strong Red Rose eleven up to an impressive 362-5 at close of play. [Scorecard]
Horton recorded his seventh first-class century off 168 balls with eleven fours, and was finally stumped off the bowling of spinner Dan Gale for a 182-ball 105.
Chilton, who reached his century early in the final session of the day off 178 balls with 13 boundaries, finally 'retired hurt' with 114 off 186 balls to his name. But there is no need to worry, he only ended his innings to give the other batsmen a chance to get some valuable time in the middle.
The news was not so good for Mal Loye, who did conventionally retire hurt early in his innings with a recurrence of a right calf problem, which he picked up earlier this pre-season.
The 36 year-old, who has been dogged by varying injury concerns over the last two years, will now sit out the rest of the game before being reassessed by Lancashire's medical team this coming Tuesday.
Discussions were taking place at the close of play as to whether or not Steven Mullaney could take part in the first-class fixture as more than just a substitute fielder.
"Chilly looked in fine form, and Horts just continued his good pre-season run," said assistant coach Gary Yates, who admitted that Lancashire would usually have won the toss and bowled had they not wanted to get in some batting practice.
Horton, who opened the innings with Loye (13), recorded his second century against the students from the North East. He later watched South African batsman Ashwell Prince edge home captain Patrick Foster to second slip for 11.
That was the first wicket to fall, leaving the score at 50-1 - but Steven Croft soon followed him back to the pavilion for one, off the bowling of seamer Joe Buttleman, and the score was 51-2.
Horton and Chilton then embarked upon their solid third wicket alliance. Horton continued his fine pre-season form, notching his second century since match action got underway in the Middle East last month.
Chilton began slowly, but revved things up as he got into the 90's and beyond after the tea break, confirming his 19th first-class career ton.
Kyle Hogg, somewhat of a surprise inclusion in the Red Rose line-up after copping a blow to his right forearm in yesterday's one-day friendly against Derbyshire at Old Trafford, hit four boundaries in an eye-catching cameo of 25.
And stand-in captain Luke Sutton should return to the crease tomorrow morning unbeaten on 36 from 97 balls, accompanying Tom Smith (28 not out), who hit the only six of the day over wide mid-wicket off Gale.
Durham's bowlers worked hard, bowling a heartening 107 overs in the day. Robbie Williams, John Glover, Foster, Buttleman, Gale and Chris Paget all picked up a wicket apiece.

Video: Web exclusive interview: Erik Litton
Video: Web exclusive interview: Barry Litton
Whether it's the signature cheeseburger and fries or red velvet cake, Litton's down home taste feeds the soul and stomach. Ask any first timer.
Yes, you could say Litton's has come a long way.
"I believe it was more of kind of an accident actually."
You see, back in the '40s, Litton's was a grocery store in the Inskip area. A deli was added in 1962.
"We sold 6,000 sandwiches a week out at the grocery store at Inskip," says Barry Litton. "We had four hamburgers for a dollar, four hot dogs for a dollar, four BBQ for a dollar and we made all that product there."
Third generation Barry Litton worked for his dad in high school.
"I learned those trades and how to be a butcher. I said I'd never get in the grocery business and that's the first thing I did!"
After a few years, Barry decided to go in a different direction. In 1980, he opened a Fresh Meat Market in Fountain City.
And one day, a customer asked for a burger.
"I said ok and I put an 8 oz of patty in a three-legged electric skillet that I had and fixed his sandwich. He came back the next day with three people. Eventually, I went to two electric skillets and a few months later I went and bought my first grill, fryer and oven."
His sister, Kelly Litton, came on board.
"We butt heads, but it's always worked."
And, in '83, Litton's Market, Restaurant and Bakery moved around the corner. It's been a popular landmark ever since.
"I was just thankful to be making a living. It was tight for a long time."
Fourth generation Eric Litton started working in the restaurant in high school. He left Fountain City for culinary school, but came back.
"It's what I know, what I grew up around," says Eric Litton.
The menu goes back several generations. Kelly fine tuned the family recipes. Well, everything except the burger and fries.
"You know that was my baby," says Barry.
And for a long time, Litton's was just a local favorite. That is until "Southern Living" and ESPN told the nation.
"Todd Blackledge of ESPN came down and did 'Taste of the Town.' And, we had basically about the busiest week we've ever had after that," says Eric.
"We've been very, very fortunate," adds Barry.
Litton's credits hard work, but more importantly loyal customers. So, instead of the typical celebrity wall, the restaurant''s Wall of Fame is dedicated to regular customers.
"I can name 85% that are on the board. That's what neighborhood markets are all about," says Barry.
"We try to just be a home style place with a friendly atmosphere- taking care of the local people who've taken care of us," adds Eric.
And, after more than 60 years, Litton's is still all in the family.
"It takes all of us having a family owned and operated business."
Litton's, Born in North Knoxville.
"It's just a lot of heritage right here."

Over 40 faculty members from the Departments of Microbiology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Genetics, Pathology, Medicine, Pediatrics, and Dentistry are involved in internationally renowned research and the training of Ph.D.-level graduate students. Currently, more than 70 students are in training in the laboratories of our faculty. Primary areas of research interest include the genetics, physiology, and molecular biology of microbes and how microbial pathogens cause disease. Basic cellular processes, host-pathogen interactions, and the design of innovative strategies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases are under study in the laboratories of our faculty. Students graduating from the Program are well-versed in modern microbiology and have the experience to pursue a diversity of career opportunities.
Admission Requirements
Acceptance is based on undergraduate record (curriculum and grade point average [GPA]), Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores, letters of recommendation, a personal statement of research and career interests, and past research activities. Domestic candidates who pass the first round of selection will be invited to visit UAB and meet the Immunology faculty and students.
The general requirements for acceptance into the Theme are:
- minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
- combined verbal/quantitative GRE score ≥1100
- a strong background in biology, chemistry, and/or mathematics. Undergraduate level courses in immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, physics, genetics, organic and analytical chemistry are strongly encouraged. Undergraduate mathematics through calculus is also recommended.
International students must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) earned within the last two years. Applicants with scores of 600 (paper-based) or 250 (computer-based) or higher will be considered.
All students in the program receive a stipend (currently $25,000), tuition and fees, and single coverage health insurance. Support is provided by the Theme, by the student's mentor, or through one of many fellowship programs.
Overview of the Program
The program emphasizes interdisciplinary training in all areas of modern microbiology. The first year of the program involves fundamental coursework and three research-based rotations in laboratories of the student's choosing. A qualifying examination is held in the second year. Advanced coursework, journals clubs, and dissertation research occur in the second and subsequent years. It is expected that completion of the program will require five to six years.
To broaden their research experience, students are introduced to research at the national and international levels through seminars presented by outside speakers and by attendance at national and international scientific meetings. Students take an active role in inviting and hosting speakers at UAB, and they are strongly encouraged to present their own results at outside meetings. An annual retreat held off-campus allows students to present their research and fosters collegiality between students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty.

Solar Hydrogen Production by Photocatalytic Water Splitting [BPN672]Photocatalytic water splitting is the process of converting water into hydrogen and oxygen with solar energy using a photocatalytic material. When light is absorbed by the photocatalyst, an electron-hole pair is generated that interacts with water molecules in a surface reduction- oxidation reaction to decompose the water into hydrogen and oxygen. One of the greatest challenges in photocatalysis is engineering the photocatalytic material for high conversion efficiency and wide absorption spectrum in the visible light range. Metal oxide nanomaterials have demonstrated promising capabilities as photocatalysts due to their high surface area-to- volume ratios, ability to be densely grown at large scales, cost-effectiveness, and stability in water. This project aims to improve the performance of metal oxide nanomaterials for water splitting, in particular TiO2 nanowires and TiO2-coated carbon nanotubes, using innovative growth processes, co-catalytic materials, and band-gap manipulation.

Metropolis was founded in 1839 on the banks of the Ohio River, about as far south as you can go in Illinois without stepping into Kentucky. Its settlers were enthusiastic: They assumed the waterfront real estate would result in a metropolis, hence the name. They were a bit off. Metropolis became a small city (population: 6,500), though in 1972 DC Comics proclaimed it the home of Superman, and the town found its identity. So every June for the past five decades, Metropolis has hosted a four-day Superman festival (this year's concludes Sunday), the centerpiece of which — indeed the centerpiece of Metropolis — is a colorful, 15-foot-tall bronze Man of Steel, his hands poised at his hips, standing watch at the foot of the Massac County Courthouse.
Sturdy, Midwestern.
And, actually, the second Superman statue to stand there. The first was unveiled at the 1972 proclamation, and "DC hated that thing," said Carla Ogle, the longtime co-chair of the annual Superman Celebration. "But then, everyone hated that thing. He looked flimsy. He was probably fiberglass, like from a miniature golf course. He had sideburns and was short and on the heavier side. His feet were huge! He was a little garish."
According to lore, that first Superman was so flashy and surreal that he had to be brought down a notch.
So, a few locals tested his bulletproof capabilities; now he's bronze.
See, Superman may be the Man of Steel, the Man of Tomorrow, the Last Son of Krypton. But, mostly, Superman is a Midwesterner.
It's not a point that's often made about Superman, who is celebrating his 75th anniversary this summer and starring in director Zack Snyder's quite Midwestern movie, "Man of Steel," opening Friday. What with all his universe saving, the intergalactic lineage and the part-time big-city address, the fact that Clark Kent grew up on a Kansas farm has never been the sexiest part of the legend. And yet, for better or worse, his Midwestern-ness is the key to coming to grips with what has for decades been alternately one of the most durable and tedious of cultural icons, a symbol of American can-do albeit delivered with an insistent piety.
Feel free to scoff, considering that what follows is coming from a transplanted New Englander, but:
Superman is the embodiment of Midwestern character — the well-meaning, the sturdy, the pious and the provincial. In "Man of Steel," when young Clark realizes he can hear literally everyone on Earth, he runs into a broom closet (a scene shot in Plano's Centennial Elementary School, in far west Kendall County), presses his hands against his ears and refuses to leave, moaning "The world's too big." The response from Ma Kent (Diane Lane) sounds distinctly Midwestern: "Then make it small."
Indeed, that "unapologetic embrace of modesty" is by design, Snyder said in an interview last week.
"I hated how in the past Superman movies, that 1978 one especially, Superman's Midwest origins were always embraced in these stylized, condescending ways that kept the Midwest just shy of being a real place," Snyder said. "Even in the Bryan Singer (2006) Superman film, they say, 'Truth, justice and that other stuff' instead of 'American way.' Which I might have done myself a decade ago. But we went after the Americana wholeheartedly. Not to be political, just to say it's OK for Superman to remind us this mythology is based in its Midwestern-ness. He's unapologetic about his roots. We even have him saying to the government, 'Look, you can't rein me in, you can't control me. … But I'm from Kansas!' And in a way, I think there's trust in that."
Without giving anything away (I swear, there are no spoilers here): "Man of Steel" tells the story of a guy who comes from a place where fracking (or at least the Kryptonian equivalent) creates earthquakes. He settles in a town where expanses are flat, and barns and windmills and water towers stand tall, breaking up the rows of corn. He gets into fights at the IHOP and is reminded by his parents he is better and more upstanding than everyone else but shouldn't flaunt it — stay modest. He watches college football, wears a Kansas City Royals T-shirt, tends to keep his feelings bottled up. He's hard to read but turns deeply moralistic, stoic and judgmental, willing to go out of his way to help anyone but eventually siding with the authorities. He heads off for the big city and gets beaten down by hipster jerks who wear a lot of black. But finally he decides that though people outside of the Midwest can't be trusted, he will be nice to all of them.
Sounds like the Midwest to me.
Some of the best Superman comic book tales of the past few decades have had an air of repressed heartland stoicism (Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?") or focused on Superman trying to retain a tight, manageable community (Brian Azzarello's "For Tomorrow"). But in its Midwestern iconography, self-proclaimed American values and locations, none comes close to Snyder's "Man of Steel." For instance, Metropolis, usually a substitute for New York City (partly because Superman films tend to shoot there), is more distinctly a Midwestern metropolis now, partly because it's Chicago you're looking at.
"I don't see Chicago as a stand-in for New York," Snyder said, "or even Metropolis as really Chicago. But I was attracted to all the modernist architecture, the Mies van der Rohe buildings, which is the architecture of the Midwest."
Then there's Smallville, Superman's Kansas hometown, which, in the film, is Plano.
Several of the movie's biggest scenes were shot there and, though Snyder and Co. were there two years ago now, the town has stayed unnervingly committed to remaining Superman's Midwest residence. The downtown is three blocks long and devoutly Smallville. The train depot still reads "Smallville Town Hall." A sign in the window of Cooper Home Furnishings, a Plano staple since the 1800s, still reads "Go Smallville Spartans!" And signage for Smallville stores, put up by the production, are not going anywhere.
That decision is courtesy of Mayor Bob Hausler, who explained to me that "Witless Protection," starring Larry the Cable Guy, was shot in Plano, and he always felt Plano could do better. Now that it has, he plans to make the most out of the town's luck. Hausler is a receding guy, with a large trophy from a national walleye fishing contest on his desk and a framed piece of "Man of Steel" pre-production art, an eerily prescient portrait of a sleepy Midwestern Smallville that looks a lot like Plano, though it was painted before anyone from the film had visited Plano. He was quiet until I asked about Metropolis. Then, as forcefully as I imagine he gets, he said, "The difference between Metropolis and Plano is that Superman was actually in Plano, and he's never been to Metropolis."
I told Metropolis' Ogle.
She replied that Plano "is just a place where they filmed some movie scenes, and we're the home of Superman. We're Metropolis!" Which is not very Midwestern of either, particularly because, talking to residents from both cities, Superman would feel at home in either place.

2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon
California: Alexander Valley
Mission Briefing
Infinite Bliss
Each Saturday we showcase a premium or ultra-premium wine. Always at a great price. Today's 2007 Mantra Alexander Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon fits this profile just perfectly.
This delicious wine, which hails from the coveted 2007 California vintage (to which Robert Parker bestowed a decade-high 96 Points), is a superb example of Cabernet from the Alexander Valley. That is to say that the wine is elegant while also refined and more balanced than some of its Napa brethren. Make no mistake, there are plenty of flavors and deep aromatics here, as well.
A little shy on opening, this wine softens with some swirling or decanting. For best results, let this wine breathe for at least 30 minutes.
Tasting Profile
Darkest maroon hues with perfectly even concentration of color throughout.
After a few hearty swirls, this wine exudes a classic Cabernet nose with elegant aromas of black stonefruit, leather, dark dried leaves and a hint of mixed spice.
Far more flavor than the elegant nose initially indicates, with flavors of smoky black cherry, braised stonefruit, bakers chocolate, cassis, toasty vanilla and subtle spice.
Very long, silky and elegant with braised black fruits that gradually give way to chocolate, spice and a hint of black pepper.
Perfect with a rosemary garlic lamb shank and a side of roasted baby red potatoes with salt and pepper.
What the Winery Says
Alexander Valley is a premier world-class Cabernet growing region. Mantra has won numerous gold medals and high point score reviews over 90 for this undeniably masterful blend. Noted critics such as Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate called it "Sexy and Hedonistic". To make this stellar wine, various blocks of our vineyards are harvested and fermented in small lots during various times throughout the year to capture each block at optimum ripeness. This solid wine shows a complex mixture of aromas and flavors driven by blackberry currant and black cherry integrated with subtle hints of toasted oak and mocha overtones. It is big, bold amd delicious, enjoy the 2007 Mantra Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley. Harvested by hand.
- Composition
- 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc
- Appelation
- 100% Alexander Valley
- Alcohol
- 14.5%
About the Winery
The literal translation of mantra is mind-protection. A mantra is something that is repeated over and over again to give oneself a sense of 'peace' and 'bliss' - try our liquid versions.
Our Vision
Mantra is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of our high elevation vineyard sites in the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys of Sonoma County. Our wines are made exclusively from the best blocks of our mountain-top and hillside vineyards and farmed to rigorous specifications to produce our ultra-premium wines. We specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah.
Family History
Mike and Lorene Kuimelis have been growing reserve designate grapes for noted wineries in the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys of Sonoma County since the late 1970's with roughly eighty acres under vine. They passed their enthusiasm and knowledge of wine and vineyards on to their son Mike Jr. who started the next chapter of this story by producing the first wines under the Mantra label. The origin of Mantra Wines began with a single barrel of wine made by Mike Jr. in a garage from Mike Sr.'s grapes – one barrel led to two barrels and so forth until the popularity of the wine outpaced it's production. At this point Mike made a decision to abandon his applications to medical school and made a business of making wine full time. Mantra Wines is a collaborative effort between father and son – Mike Sr. grows the grapes and Mike Jr. makes the wines and runs the day-to-day operations of the small winery with his wife Dez. Our first commercial release was in 2000 with just a few hundred cases of Cabernet Sauvignon – Mantra is now distributed in over 15 states and Canada. True to our roots – we remain a boutique winery that produces hand-crafted wines of limited production levels but no longer made in the garage.
We are very proud to offer you these wines - enjoy!

Off-Campus Student Services
This optional one day orientation session is designed for students beginning their Berklee careers in Fall 2008 who will NOT be living on campus. Students will learn valuable information about apartment hunting and living in Boston. Attendees will also get a taste of Berklee's culture, hear from current students about their experiences locating safe, affordable, and convenient off campus housing, and network with fellow incoming students to potentially leave with contact information for future roommates! Questions? Call the Student Activities Center at 617 747-2560 or email email@example.com. Due to space limitations, please limit the number of individuals accompanying the student to OCHO.
Boston and its neighborhoods house over 75 percent of Berklee's student population. Off-Campus Student Services seeks to provide resources and materials to Berklee's non-residential students, from apartment search basics to an off-campus housing bulletin board where students can post anything from "Room Wanted" to "Temporary Housing for Rent."
Living off campus can be both exciting and a little daunting. Students can find support in friends and in the many resources available through Off-Campus Student Services and the City of Boston. Students living off campus can still be active members of the Berklee community, and Berklee encourages all students to get involved in student activities. Keep in mind that off-campus students are a representative part of the Berklee community and are expected to conduct themselves as good citizens.
- Facebook Marketplace—for Berklee students
- Craigslist Boston
- City of Boston—Student Resources
- City of Boston—Calendar of Events

Home on the Range
September 30, 2012
Adults like strange things — smelly cheese, strong drinks, dull movies. They like liver. Despite the obvious: It's awful.
As kids we accepted such odd tastes. One day, we too would be drawn to smelly cheese, dull movies and liver. And while our parents never encouraged a precocious attitude toward drink, they insisted we partake, underage, in liver.
I did. And didn't complain. But I didn't like it.
I've since tried. At least once. It was at a party, in my honor. The hostess — and cook — was my mother-in-law-to-be. One bite nearly scotched the whole deal.
So I took interest when I heard chef April Bloomfield say, during a radio interview, that the scent of liver makes her weak in the knees. In the good way.
It made me curious in the taste buds.
I looked up Bloomfield's book, "A girl and her pig," and noted on the cover the girl, looking serene, and the pig, draped over her shoulders, looking dead.
I followed the instructions, finding encouragement in old friends like garlic and shallots and port. I spread the chunky pate across a thick slice of grilled bread and bit. It was good, in an earthy, hearty, gutsy kind of way. A way that made me feel, if not weak-kneed, adult.
Lively liver
Makes: 4 toasts
About ¼ cup olive oil, plus a bit
¼ cup finely chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons each: dry Madeira, ruby port
½ pound chicken livers, trimmed, separated into lobes
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper
A few sprigs flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 thick slices crusty breadBrown:

Parents got schooled in the power of parenting at Charlottesville High School Saturday.
Nearly 80 people took advantage of the free information sessions, covering everything from healthy eating habits to the teen dating culture.
Parents were able to open up to professionals to ask difficult questions they have about home life and their children, young or old.
While the majority of the attendees were adults, there were some teens in the crowd.
"I heard about it from my dad, and I wasn't really sure about it, but I looked at all the topics and I kind of thought it would be interesting to learn about what they thought as opposed to what I thought, to see both sides," said Neve Gallagher.
The event was run by Safe Schools/Healthy Students. The organization is preparing for a parent-child event on April 15 to address alcohol and drinking and driving.

When major news events, natural disasters, or severe weather strike, telecom networks get slammed with calls, e-mails, texts, video uploads, tweets and other demands.
At its Global Network Operations Center in Bedminster, N.J., AT&T (T, Fortune 500) monitors those events in a room that looks like NASA's mission control. With 141 huge LCD displays, AT&T's engineers keep watch for anomalies.
The photo above shows what those screens look like during normal operations. That's a stark contrast to what the U.S. map looks like during an emergency. Click through to see what AT&T's network showed during some of the biggest news events of the past two decades.
Smartphone cyberattacks are rare, but experts continue to predict that a malware doomsday is coming. Here's why it hasn't happened yet.

GMC - It's Game Master's Choice!
Come to the world, where mortals created and became gods, where the Long Night powers orcs and undead and where ruins of a glorious past let deities fear for their existence. A world of enigmatic NPCs: from the Ancients, over the mythical Sirison and the Guardian of Simit to a being of unknown age and power, the Quirin.
Let the characters become a part of your own Quirin Saga. Look out for the independent "Quirin Adventure" series. Every scenario can be placed in your campaign world. Feel free to adapt the material presented here as you see fit to make it work with your campaign.
The Clownish Village is an adventure site for four characters of about 10th level. The heroes arrive in Ridge Ville, a village located in a temperate mountainous area of an evil empire full of half-elf masters and nonhalf-elf slaves. They may discover a claustrophobic bounty hunter, an impotent noble, an imprisoned gladiator, an intriguing constable, and a scheming mercenary, among many other interesting NPCs. They could face charmed or hungry monsters, the Black Squadron, natural hazards of the Heaven's Band, the Flaming Circus, the powers of a desirable minor artifact, and the wrath of a demilich's vassal. Whether they decide to explore the area that is in need of good deeds or not, they will be accused of the abduction of the Count of Ridge Ville.
Additional Features:
Created by: Christian Janke
Encounters: 25 (EL ranging from 1 to 14)
Time for Fun and More!
The Clownish Village serves as a sequel to Nrasra's Death, the Quirin Adventure #1, although you need not have played Nrasra's Death to use this one. The Clownish Village has several adventure hooks in it to play Nrasra's Death as a side adventure if you want.

PTC Concludes Its Mainstage Season With GREY GARDENS 5/22 - 6/28
The stage will brighten with Philadelphia Theatre Company's mainstage season finale Grey Gardens, book by Doug Wright, music by Scott Frankel, and lyrics by Michael Korie, on May 22 - June 28 at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre (Broad and Lombard Streets). Directed by Lisa Peterson, the ensemble cast features Todd Almond, Cole Burden, Kim Carson, Maggie Fitzgerald, Joy Franz, James Ijames, John Jellison, Anastasia Korbal, and Hollis Resnik.

mansion in tony East Hampton, the two Edies slip from their status as wealthy socialites to penniless hermits in their dilapidated home.
Grey Gardens is funded in part by The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative. Marilyn and Robert Birnhak are the Honorary Executive Producers for Grey Gardens.
Grey Gardens was the first musical on Broadway ever to be adapted from a documentary. The show premiered at Playwrights Horizons in February, 2006 and then moved to Broadway that November, winning two Tony Awards.

His regional credits include productions at the O'Neill Theatre Center, Houston Theatre Under the Stars, and Connecticut Repertory Theatre.

Bumping because yes! I'd very much like to show my nerd pride. It's amazing who you meet who recognises the rebel bird! I was going through TSA screening at DFW and the baggage screener got a chattin' with me about the legion and cons in general
I'm all for some nice simple t's with the crest on the front and maybe bird on the back and a link somewhere? We can get a merc thread running in the right forum? I do think we need to offer these in female fit as well

This basic concept gets my vote. It's an approach that means we could get to a finished product fairly promptly.

Herod's Roman Theater, Caesarea
The Roman Theater of Caesarea in Israel is a well-preserved and fully restored theater built by Herod. It is notable for its modern use for concerts, its fine view of the sea and the inscription discovered here that mentions Pontius Pilate.
The theater was built by Herod in 22-10 BC and was the first of its kind in Israel. It was continuously maintained throughout the Roman and much of the Byzantine eras. It had (and has) a seating capacity of 3,500-4,000 and was built using many granite columns from Aswan. Originally, there was a large stage that blocked the view of the sea.
What to See
The theater is located about 70 meters inside the south wall of the Byzantine city, and is the first monument you encounter coming from the highway. It has been fully reconstructed except for the stage (in order to preserve the fine sea view). In the center is a special seating area that would have been reserved for Herod and other dignitaries. The semicircular platform behind the stage was added in the 3rd century. Today, the restored theater is frequently used for performances.
Near the path to the theater is a replica of the famous Pontius Pilate inscription (the original is in the Israel Museum), which was discovered in 1961. The block with the inscription had been reused in the stairway of the theater. Pilate, a Roman governor, had his official residence in Caesarea and is, of course, best known for his part in the trial of Jesus in Jerusalem. The inscription records Pilate's dedication of a temple to the Emperor Tiberias around 26-36 AD. Part of it is missing, but a suggested restoration reads:
The fortifications around the theater are from a 6th-century Byzantine fortress that used part of the high back of the theater to guard the south end of the city. The provincial governor took up residence here after Samaritans and Jews burned his palace down in 555 AD.

Take a look at some of Wednesday's midday movers:
Facebook moved back above $30 per share for the first time in six months.
Biggest talker of the day: Herbalife and the battle of the hedge fund titans. Shares of Herbalife were sharply higher after Third Point's Daniel Loeb reported an 8.2-percent passive stake in the embattled weight-loss management and nutritional supply company. In December, Bill Ackman has made a very loud "short" case for shares of Herbalife.
The Dow Jones Transportation Average rallied to trade at its highest level since July 2011.
Harley-Davidson surged after Citi said dealer checks showed the motorcycle manufacturer's fourth-quarter 2012 retail sales were up 6 to 8 percent.
Visa rose after the stock was added to Goldman Sachs' "Americas Conviction List" as its top pick for the year with a price target of $188 per share.
Goldman also resumed coverage of Amazon at a "buy" rating with a $315 price target saying "e-commerce growth, driven by shrinking traditional retail footprints and favorable demographics" should continue to exceed expectations.
Danaher was sharply higher after the maker of testing and medical equipment said it expects to exceed its fourth-quarter profit and revenue forecast.
And best analyst report title of the day: "If We Ran the Zoo We'd be Nervous Now Too" says Liz Dunn, analyst at Macquarie Research on J.C. Penney. She goes on to say that "the moderate department store model may be broken" and that even if the turnaround at the retailer is successful, it will take longer than she originally thought.
